The sagebrush Stockman says
Within the last six months Nevada 8
resources lave been prominently
brought to the front, and already the
signs of approaching prosperity can be
seen on every hand. This is notably
so in mining. For three years past,
owing to the unwarrantable warfare
of the gold bugs of the East, our min
ing industries have languished, hun
dreds of men were thrown out of en-
ployment and compelled to seek work
sewhere, and the result was In stag
nate every branch of business through
out the State. Now the reaction has
set in, silver is gradually regaining lis
old time prestige, and feeling ct con-
tidence has been ins,illed in the minds
of our people such as they have not
enjoyed for years. Many sales ot
mining properties have taken place of
ate especially in White Pine and Eiko
counties, and mines which have been
abandoned for years have been reopen
ed and soon will be adding their quota
of the precious metal. This, together
with our other industries, and the
prospect of low freight rates made pos
sible by the passage of the Interstate
Commerce bill, has caused our bust
ness men to look forward TO an era of
prosperity such as the battle born
State has not experienced since the
memorable bonanza days.

senate Bill No. SD,


Which has passed both Houses OF the
Legislature and was signed by the
Governor on The 9th, provides that
whenever within five years from the
passage of the Act the Nevada and

shall have constructed a tirst-class
iron railroad, either narrow or stand
ard gauge, through the counties of
White Pine, Lincoln, Nye aud Esmer
aida, or either of them, it shall be en-
Titled To receive from such county
through which it shall have completed
such railroad, the bones of such
county to the extent of $4,000 per
nile if narrow, and $4,000 per mile
for standard gauge road. The bill
authorizes the County Commissioners
l., issue five per cent. bonds upon the
completion of said road within their
respective counties, interest payable
annually, and principal payable at
any time within twenty-five years. at
the option of the county issuing the
same. The bill contains ten sections,
in which the manner of issuing said
bonds and payment thereof are fully
set forth.
This measure has been severely citi-
cizcd by portion of the press OF the
State, and, as far as we can learn, the
people of White Pine do mot hurrah
for ii.
But the most violent opposition
came from the people of Lincoln
county, whose Representative
Poujade and Clapp-fought the bill
in both houses. When it came up for
final passage, Senator Poujade said:
81 favor the building of railroads,
and am in favor of Assisting them in

An Old Favorite Dead.

A great favorite with the travelling
public, and Of all who came in contact
with him, passed away in the person OF
]. w. Raymond, who died in San
Francisco on January 18th, in the 10Th
year of his age. He was in mercantile
business with his father in New York,
his native city, during early life, and
made his first trip to the Pacific Coast
in 1850, as Vice President Of the Pa
cifc Mail Company, taking up his per
manent residence there in 1863. Mr..
Raymond was a member Of the Yose-
mite Valley Commission from the first
one appointed till his death, and for his
loyal services during the war was elect
ed companion of the third class OF
the Military Order Of the Loyal Legion.
Capt. VIM. L. Merry, who sailed for
years in command of his ships, writes
thus of him. "He was the most com
petent steamship manager the writer
has ever known. Every detail Of steam
ship management was familiar to him;
he could advise inteligenty with the
ship-builder who launched the steamer,
with the engineer who ran her, with
the steward who took care OF her pas
sengers and crew and with the Captain
who navigated her. His associates
have been men Of national reputation
Collins, Aspinwal, Webb, Roach,
Mclean and other names illustrious In
the annals of American shipping inter
ests-and Mr. Raymond was the peer
of them ALL" Mr. R. W. Lame, Of
Honolulu, speaking of Mr. Raymond,
whom he knew well, said to the com
piler Of this sketch, Gle was man
who had thousands of friends and not
single enemy"

LIGHT WANTED.


So far as giving the public an intel
ligible idea of the state Of the national
finances is concerned, the latest at
tempt at compliance with the Auditors
Act is rather unsatisfactory. There is
no specification Of receipts or expendi-
lures IN detail, but everything is
blocked under the main heads of &C.
count There is just enough given to
make people ask questions, which ex-
perience proves to be a fruitless exer-
else when information is required Of
the lordly keepers of the national
purse strings, regarding the ebb and
flow Of the peoples money in the
treasury. People are asking questions,
however, some rather knotty ones, con
corning certain exhibits in the quarterly
returns recently issued.
Here is one of the points upon
which enlightenment is sought The
Loan Act Of last session specified the
different objects for which alone the
two millions Of dollars were TO be ex-
pended. Among others was the repay
ment Of the special loan that was
drawing nine per cent. interest, or
eleven per cent. compounded as it is
said to have been, in Spreckels' Bank.
The quarterly returns show $3o5,oco
received from the loan fund, and
$Io5, 366.62 paid out on the special
loan. Nothing else is specified as hay
ing been paid on loan account. There
should therefore be a balance in the
treasury of 81 s4,633.3Son loan account,
for there is not single item among the
expenditures returned, excepting that
Of the special loan above mentioned,
which is shown to be charge on the
loan. A balance of $50, o76.5a only
is returned, leaving the amount Of
$7a,556.86 not accounted for legally,
The Loan Act authorizes $Ioo, 900 fol
the expense of floating the loan and
$I,a35, 900 to cancel bonds and liqui
date the special loan, while all the resi-
is devoted to purposes in the interior
Department
An amount Of $249oS2.S8 appears
in the returns as expended by the In
terror Department, but there is not q
word Of explanation to show that any
of it was spent on any Of the object:
of the Loan Act Possibly the $40,
oco due on the steam tug Eleu was
paid, also something toward the en-
couragement of immigration, also Q
portion of the $50, devoted to the
water works-these being all included
in the objects for which the two million
loan was authorized-but if any of the
loan money was spent on any or all o
these the fact should have been stated
in the returns For anything the pub
lie know, the realization from the loar
may have gone to pay old debts Of the
Government for harbors, roads anc
bridges, in which case the public i'm
proyements in such works anticipated
from the loan will come short If the
loan is to be expended in making u
for past improvidence, while the ordi
nary revenues are to be wasted on the
least necessary Of the doubly excessive
appropriations, the country will be in
evitably plunged into hopeless bank
ruptcy before the close of this period

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

An object lesson will be given at the
Wisconsin Farmers institutes that will
materially improve the 5000, 900 pounds
of butter annually made in the state and
increase the revenue of our farms 1t has
been decided to have modern Dreaming
done at all the institutes the coming win
ter, and have butter publicly made.
The De Laval Separator company will
send two of their ha nd machines and have
them operated to show that method of
Dreaming. The same opportunity will be
given to those having other kinds of
creamers for them to exhibit, raise cream
and make butter if they desire. 1t being
understood that so far as the Dreaming OF
milk is done it is to be at the expense OF
the several operators.
Oil or butter tests will be made at the
same time of the mixed milk used by the
parties for the purpose of comparing
methods and results.
This part of the work will be done with
out expense to the parties. The work
will be done at the noon recess, and in nc
case will the time of the regular session
be taken for the purpose.
